I am looking to chrome the front bumper of my 67 chrysler newport custom 2 dr. and live in southeast ohio. Any recommendations on good chrome shops that don't charge an arm and a leg and will stand by their work? Any horror stories to stay away from? I have talked to US Chrome in Dayton and...

Guys, I know it's not an A body, but I have a beautiful 85 Ram with only 56,000 miles on it, 318, 2WD that I would like to convert from an automatic to a 4 speed. However, it is hard to find parts for these trucks. Does anybody have a manual parts truck, or know somebody who does? I would...

Ok guys, I need to vent and am pretty pissy right now, so I would like your level headed responses to help guide me. I want all kinds of feedback, from machinists to average enthusiasts. In order to protect other parties, I will not disclose the shop that did the work, or their location. Ok...

Hey guys, 75 duster with a 416 stroker and new mini starter from 440 source. The car has 1300 miles since new engine and starter, and the starter started randomly clicking at times (pulled it out and contacts were bad). The starter/alternator "Guru" in our area said this could have been caused...

Ok, I have to get new tires on the front of my duster, can anybody tell me if they've come out with a tool or a good idea for removing the dog dish hubcaps off my steel wheels. The last several times I've tried this with the screwdriver and rag method, I've still scratched my wheels, and sent...

Can anyone help me with interior colors for a 75 duster? Mine is medium blue, but I am not sure what color name this is. When I bought the car, it already had the correct new blue carpet, but I do not know what color to get for the seats and door panels. It is a front split bench w/o arm...

the steering shaft in my duster was seperated when I bought it, at the plastic injection points. The lower part of the shaft that attaches to the steering coupling and steering gear box will slide in and out at will. The question is, I know this is so it will shear in case of an accident, but...

Does anybody know where, or if, I can buy new front seat belt buckles for a '75 duster? I already have the front original belts installed, which are the new style, but the buckles are missing for the front seats. Can anybody help me out? The car is a bench front seat if that matters...

Guys, how easy/hard is it to remove the power steering gear box on a duster. The engine is a 340 and I have TTI's headers installed. It looks like I might be able to pull it out through the front under the headers, if the bottom will slide over the k member. Has anyone done it on a duster...

In regards to a 340, I thought I'd heard there was a right and left rocker arm. When I took the 340 apart, I noticed that some of the rockers looked like they were not sitting square on the valve tips, and the pushrods were very close to the guides, almost touching. I'd like to put them back...

Guys, I had a bad power steering leak on the top of my power steering gear box on my duster, its a 1975. I took the valve body off the top of the gear box. It only had two bolts holding it on, and the o-rings were bad around the pressure line and return line, so I replaced them, as well as the...

hey guys, is there an adjustment on the ignition switch on a 75 duster? I just got the duster started up, after a new engine and all new wiring, and if I don't keep the key barely turned to the right after the engine starts, my msd box will lose power, and the engine will shut off. If I have...

Does anyone have any under hood pictures of the power steering pump and bracket assembly and the alternator bracket assembly on a plymouth duster with a smallblock? I could greatly use the visual assistance. Mine is a '75 duster with a 340. Thanks Will

Hi guys, I am ready to put the windshield back in my '75 duster. The problem is, the local company I'm having put it in quoted me like $170 for the gasket and another $20 for some other locking gasket, or something like that. I can get the gasket much cheaper online from mopar shops, but some...

Ok, I got the fuel problem fixed on dad's challenger, Since its getting the proper amount of fuel now, the car will cruise without surging. I appreciate all your help. The only problem left with the car is what I believe to be a lifter/cam problem. When you accelerate easy now, the car does...

I know this isnt an A body, but since I value your opinions and the engine is the same, I thought I'd ask the same question I asked on another forum: Guys, I have an original 340 challenger r/t, 1971, with 32,000 original miles on it. Recently, there has been a ticking noise coming from under...

I am needing some help in deciding how to size and select the proper electric fan for a street car. Does anyone have any expertise in this area, or know of any good articles to find the required cfm that is needed? I am not having much luck. My car is a 75 duster, 416 stroker, eddy heads and...

Hello, I am putting a PTC 9.5 inch converter, 3500 stall behind my 416 stroker. My question is in regard to keeping the transmission cool and happy on the street. This is only a street car. I am getting the summit brand deep aluminum pan already, but can any of you recommend a GOOD...

I dynoed my 416 on saturday, 465 hp/510 torque on pump gas, 483/526 torque on race gas. It has slightly worked edelbrock heads, 236 @ .050 hydraulic roller, .550/.570, edelbrock air gap, tti headers, holley ultra 4150 race carb 750 cfm worked over, flows around 830 cfm. I think the carb is too...

I have a new MSD Billet distributor that I am getting ready before I dyno my engine. I am setting the spring and bushing for the advance curve. My question is, to save dyno time for other tuning, do you guys have any suggestions on what a 416 stroker would like to start with? The specs are...

Hey guys, I have received my Kevko oil pan for the 416, the 6 quart stock replacement. I have to say it is a very nicely made piece. Looks even better after I painted it Hemi Orange. As I was looking for a good quality gasket on summit's web page, I found mopar performance now makes a one...

Hey guys, I've got a 416 going into a 75 duster. I currently have a used moroso deep sump pan and pickup that I was planning on running on the engine. However, I noticed that the sump is almost 10" deep and I am worried that this will be a problem on the street. I have seen Milodon has a low...

I am building a 67 383, looking for around 425 horses out of it. The question I have is, I have a Offenhauser intake that came on another engine I had. I was considering using this intake, since I already have it, and would probably save around $240 over buying an edelbrock rpm. However, I...

Hello guys, this is my first post, I have a 1975 Duster with a 416 that I have built for it, just so you know my background. If someone can give me some computer assistance I can get a pic of it on here for ya. But for my first post, I have a question about my C body. It is a 1967 newport...

Can someone please help me find a schematic or flowchart of the oiling system in the 340 v8? I'm wondering how exactly the 340 oiling system is setup in a stock block and heads. I'm talking the entire path the oil takes from the pickup until it returns to the pan. This is nothing more than...

Ok guys, this question is actually on a 67 newport custom, not my duster, but the principle is the same, so here goes. I just converted my 67 newport custom to front disc brakes, using all factory original parts, and spindles off a 73 newport. Brakes bled fine, as I installed a disc master...
